Cabin Lining

The weather was too bad even for Ben Ainsley today so I spent the afternoon finishing off the hull lining in the cabin. First, the hull sides were covered in closed cell foam, which had to be cut round the chines. This hull has quite deep ridges to cover.


Not so the carpet, which had to go on in one piece to avoid joins. One side is over two metres long, but fortunately the carpet is very floppy and stretchy so it is easier than in could be.


It now makes my bunk cushions look very tatty, that will have to be the next job. I am not happy with the join between coachroof sides and headlining, I looking at options for hiding that gap. Anyway, the cabin now looks far more sophisticated and is a lot better insulated too.
